DESCRIPTION:
This symposium provides Luso-Africanist scholars the opportunity to discuss a plurality of ideas about
Portugal and West African societies' positions in modifying the Atlantic world. The multidisciplinary
atmosphere encourages collaboration between diverse research and theoretical perspectives focused
on topics such as culture contact and change, ethnic relations, identity formation, transnational
networks, neo/post-colonialism, globalization, etc. This symposium explores three important
questions: (1) How were the Portuguese unique in their maritime conduct? (2) How did African
societies react to, adapt to, and resist Portuguese expansion? (3) How do these real and imagined
histories influence contemporary African societies’ worldviews?
-a DISK or electronic copy of both
the abstract and cover sheet as
Microsoft Word documents (as
abstracts, affiliation, email
addresses and bios will be
reproduced in a booklet for all
presenters).
PLEASE NOTE: Should your
abstract be accepted, you will
be required to provide a copy
of your paper to the Committee
by NO LATER THAN APRIL 8
so that the moderator will have
time to review your work.
